Experience the convenience of our diverse beverage packages, designed to cater to your unique event needs. Whether you prefer the flexibility of hourly packages or the precision of consumption-based options, we have you covered. Elevate the ambiance of your gathering by setting up a personalised bar tab for your guests, allowing them to savour the Wake at their own pace.
All packages are based on minimum number at each venue. If you have a specific number of extra guests in mind, let us know and we will provide the per person cost for additional guests. This way you can tailor the package to suit your living wake and budget.
In the celebratory context of a living wake, we recognise the significance of crafting an atmosphere of warmth and remembrance. Let us curate beautiful floral arrangements at special rates for the day of your Living Wake. Whether gently placed on tables or positioned near the centre of attention, these flowers become a poignant symbol of beauty intertwined with moments of reflection. Our carefully chosen floral compositions are designed to infuse the space with comfort and grace, providing a visual tribute to the life being celebrated during this time of reflection and appreciation.
Our favourite part of end of life celebration planning is assembling the ‘Forget-Me-Not Gifts’ for your friends and family.
These items need not be extravagant; a simple flower, a potted plant, a stubbie cooler, or a pen – whatever holds special significance to you, can serve as a meaningful tribute. Consider including your favourite drink or tea, providing guests with the opportunity to raise a heartfelt toast in your memory from the comfort of their homes. Or gifting a cherished photo with an expression of gratitude to family and friends for being a part of the day’s commemoration.
Let Happy Endings End of Life Celebrations assist you in managing the process of organizing your Will, Advanced Health Directives, Enduring Power of Attorney, and end of life celebration plan. Providing these documents is a significant gift to your loved ones, alleviating the uncertainty and stress of planning during the difficult period of grieving your loss. Allow us to support you in getting everything in order.
Whether it’s the strumming of a guitar, a playlist of meaningful songs, or sounds that hold sentimental value, music can enhance the overall atmosphere and contribute to a positive and comforting environment for those in attendance. We have an array of talented musicians ready to make your living wake memorable.
Let us tailor your living wake to reflect the significance of your unique life and personality. From incorporating your favourite colours to showcasing cherished items, we can skilfully theme the event to reflect your individuality. Whether it’s through personalised decorations, themed displays, or thoughtful touches throughout the venue, our aim is to create a meaningful and respectful tribute. Our team is dedicated to ensuring that every detail contributes to a heartfelt and personalised experience.
Photographs can serve as cherished mementos for the family and friends, documenting the moments of connection, laughter, and shared stories. They also offer a way to share the celebration with those who may not have been able to attend in person, extending the reach of the commemoration. If you would like to engage a professional photographer for all or part of your living wake we can arrange this on your behalf.
Create a heartfelt and enduring memorial by arranging a signing book, a keepsake box, cards for guests to pen down stories, and even rocks for them to sign, leaving a tangible mark of their presence. The possibilities extend to memorial books and photos, offering a diverse range of options to commemorate the occasion. These thoughtful elements not only enrich the celebration but also provide comfort in the aftermath of the festivities, serving as a tangible collection of shared memories and sentiments, giving you something to reflect on after your living wake.
